In recent decades one country's horror cinema has become synonymous with utter terror and downright creepiness. I’m talking of course about Japan. But what is it that's made this country's films so damn scary.
We will be taking a journey though the history of Japanese horror, from its origins the Kaidan and Kabuki in the Edo period, though the Gothic horror of the Tale of Ugetsu and tokido yotsuya Kaidan, the nuclear horrors of Godzilla and Matango, the Pinku Eiga of the 70s, the golden age of Ringu and Dark Water in the late 90's and the social horror of Battle Royal.
Thanks for watching One Hundred Years of Cinema, I will be writing a video essay about at least one film each year from 1915 onward to track the evolution of film over the last century. Please subscribe and share! Thank you!

Japan has a long history as one of the finest cinema producers in the world. Japanese cinema is littered with the likes of Kurosawa and Ozu, people whose name echo through history as some of the greatest filmmakers of all time. A name that I think should be added to that list is Hiroshi Shimizu.
In the short time Shimizu was active, he directed over 160 films. And of those relatively few have been seen outside of his native Japan, but those that have stand as some of the most touching, beautiful and heartwarming films to come out of cinema.
Shimizu’s touch is light, focusing on the simple things in life, building slow paced, almost plotless films that focus on the most vulnerable in society. He gained fame for producing films focusing of the struggles of childhood, “Children of the Beehive“, “Children of the Wind“ and “IntrospectionTower“.
Shimizu’s focus is on realism, he tried to capture the world as it was, and because of this his films stand as wonderful time capsules of japan as it moved through the 30’s to the 60’s. His films are rich, warm films with empathy, his kindness and generosity shines through every frame.
His 1936 film Arigatou-san tells the story of a polite bus driver as he travels though the Izu peninsula with his passengers, and although it has a simple and easy charm, it reveals a dark truth about depression era Japan.

BeyondGodzilla: AlternativeFutures & Fantasies in JapaneseCinemahttp://www.japansociety.org/page/programs/film/beyond-godzilla-alternative-futures-and-fantasies-in-japanese-cinema
March 24—April 8, 2017
While Godzilla undoubtedly ranks among Japanese cinema's most well-known and beloved exports, the series of films in which he stars is only one of the many remarkable entries within the rich and varied universe of Japanese tokusatsu ("special effects") films. This seven-film series, a modified version of the program organized for the 2016 Far EastFilm Festival in Udine, Italy by film critic and writer Mark Schilling, goes beyond Toho's superstar monster to introduce a selection of titles that display the wide-ranging imagination of the Japanese sci-fi/fantasy genre, including innovative B-movies, kaiju eiga ("monster movies") and non-Godzilla classics involving director Ishiro Honda and effects maestro Eiji Tsuburaya.

Cinema of Japan

The cinema of Japan(日本映画,Nihon eiga, also known domestically as 邦画 hōga, "domestic cinema") has a history that spans more than 100 years. Japan has one of the oldest and largest film industries in the world; as of 2010, it was the fourth largest by number of feature films produced. In 2011 Japan produced 411 feature films that earned 54.9% of a box office total of US$2.338 billion. Movies have been produced in Japan since 1897, when the first foreign cameramen arrived. In a Sight & Sound list of the best films produced in Asia, Japanese works made up eight of the top 12, with Tokyo Story (1953) ranked number one. Japan has won the Academy Award for the Best Foreign Language Film four times, once again more than any other Asian country.

History

Silent Era

The kinetoscope, first shown commercially by Thomas Edison in the United States in 1894, was first shown in Japan in November 1896. The Vitascope and the Lumière Brothers' Cinematograph were first presented in Japan in early 1897, by businessmen such as Inabata Katsutaro. Lumière cameramen were the first to shoot films in Japan. Moving pictures, however, were not an entirely new experience for the Japanese because of their rich tradition of pre-cinematic devices such as gentō (utsushi-e) or the magic lantern. The first successful Japanese film in late 1897 showed sights in Tokyo.

Akira Kurosawa

Akira Kurosawa(Japanese:黒澤 明,Hepburn:Kurosawa Akira, March 23, 1910– September 6, 1998) was a Japanese filmmaker. Regarded as one of the most important and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema, Kurosawa directed 30 films in a career spanning 57 years.

Kurosawa entered the Japanese film industry in 1936, following a brief stint as a painter. After years of working on numerous films as an assistant director and scriptwriter, he made his debut as a director in 1943, during World War II, with the popular action filmSanshiro Sugata (a.k.a. Judo Saga). After the war, the critically acclaimed Drunken Angel (1948), in which Kurosawa cast then-unknown actor Toshiro Mifune in a starring role, cemented the director's reputation as one of the most important young filmmakers in Japan. The two men would go on to collaborate on another 15 films. His wife Yōko Yaguchi was also an actress in one of his films.

Rashomon, which premiered in Tokyo in August 1950, and which also starred Mifune, became, on September 10, 1951, the surprise winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and was subsequently released in Europe and North America. The commercial and critical success of this film opened up Western film markets for the first time to the products of the Japanese film industry, which in turn led to international recognition for other Japanese filmmakers. Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, Kurosawa directed approximately a film a year, including a number of highly regarded films such as Ikiru (1952), Seven Samurai (1954) and Yojimbo (1961). After the mid-1960s, he became much less prolific, but his later work—including his final two epics, Kagemusha (1980) and Ran (1985)—continued to win awards, including the Palme d'Or for Kagemusha, though more often abroad than in Japan.

We will be taking a journey though the history of Japanese horror, from its origins the Kaidan and Kabuki in the Edo period, though the Gothic horror of the Tale of Ugetsu and tokido yotsuya Kaidan, the nuclear horrors of Godzilla and Matango, the Pinku Eiga of the 70s, the golden age of Ringu and Dark Water in the late 90's and the social horror of Battle Royal.
Thanks for watching One Hundred Years of Cinema, I will be writing a video essay about at least one film each year from 1915 onward to track the evolution of film over the last century. Please subscribe and share! Thank you!

Japan has a long history as one of the finest cinema producers in the world. Japanese cinema is littered with the likes of Kurosawa and Ozu, people whose name echo through history as some of the greatest filmmakers of all time. A name that I think should be added to that list is Hiroshi Shimizu.
In the short time Shimizu was active, he directed over 160 films. And of those relatively few have been seen outside of his native Japan, but those that have stand as some of the most touching, beautiful and heartwarming films to come out of cinema.
Shimizu’s touch is light, focusing on the simple things in life, building slow paced, almost plotless films that focus on the most vulnerable in society. He gained fame for producing films focusing of the struggles of childhood, “Children of the Beehive“, “Children of the Wind“ and “IntrospectionTower“.
Shimizu’s focus is on realism, he tried to capture the world as it was, and because of this his films stand as wonderful time capsules of japan as it moved through the 30’s to the 60’s. His films are rich, warm films with empathy, his kindness and generosity shines through every frame.
His 1936 film Arigatou-san tells the story of a polite bus driver as he travels though the Izu peninsula with his passengers, and although it has a simple and easy charm, it reveals a dark truth about depression era Japan.

BeyondGodzilla: AlternativeFutures & Fantasies in JapaneseCinemahttp://www.japansociety.org/page/programs/film/beyond-godzilla-alternative-futures-and-fantasies-in-japanese-cinema
March 24—April 8, 2017
While Godzilla undoubtedly ranks among Japanese cinema's most well-known and beloved exports, the series of films in which he stars is only one of the many remarkable entries within the rich and varied universe of Japanese tokusatsu ("special effects") films. This seven-film series, a modified version of the program organized for the 2016 Far EastFilm Festival in Udine, Italy by film critic and writer Mark Schilling, goes beyond Toho's superstar monster to introduce a selection of titles that display the wide-ranging imagination of the Japanese sci-fi/fantasy genre, including innovative B-movies, kaiju eiga ("monster movies") and non-Godzilla classics involving director Ishiro Honda and effects maestro Eiji Tsuburaya.

"Good For Nothing" (1960) Japanese New Wave

"Good For Nothing" ("Rokudenashi"), the 1960 Japanese film (w/ English subs), featuring Masahiko Tsugawa, Hizuru Takachiho and Yusuke Kawazu, written and directed by Yoshishige "Kijû" Yoshida.
Synopsis:
Yoshida's original script is centered on a group of listless middle-class high school students whose fantasies of sex and violence exert an unhealthy hold upon their imagination... A stylistically assured and striking debut film with overt nods to early Godard. (Harvard Film Archive, Yoshida series notes, March 2009)

For ENGLISH SUBTITLES click the subtitles/closed captions "CC" button. Film information below...
A student drama group are preparing for their school's annual performance of the Russian play The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov. The whole story takes place during the final two hours of preparation leading up to the performance. However, the play is in danger of being cancelled due to the inappropriate actions of one of the students while outside the school grounds. The play is an important rite-of-passage for the students and a tradition that connects the past with the present, through the spirit of the cherry blossom.
Sakura no sono is director Nakahara Shun's masterpiece, and a celebrated classic of Japanese cinema. The film won multiple awards in 1990 (in six separate Academy Awards ce...

In recent decades one country's horror cinema has become synonymous with utter terror and downright creepiness. I’m talking of course about Japan. But what is it that's made this country's films so damn scary.
We will be taking a journey though the history of Japanese horror, from its origins the Kaidan and Kabuki in the Edo period, though the Gothic horror of the Tale of Ugetsu and tokido yotsuya Kaidan, the nuclear horrors of Godzilla and Matango, the Pinku Eiga of the 70s, the golden age of Ringu and Dark Water in the late 90's and the social horror of Battle Royal.
Thanks for watching One Hundred Years of Cinema, I will be writing a video essay about at least one film each year from 1915 onward to track the evolution of film over the last century. Please subscribe and share! Thank you!

Japan has a long history as one of the finest cinema producers in the world. Japanese cinema is littered with the likes of Kurosawa and Ozu, people whose name echo through history as some of the greatest filmmakers of all time. A name that I think should be added to that list is Hiroshi Shimizu.
In the short time Shimizu was active, he directed over 160 films. And of those relatively few have been seen outside of his native Japan, but those that have stand as some of the most touching, beautiful and heartwarming films to come out of cinema.
Shimizu’s touch is light, focusing on the simple things in life, building slow paced, almost plotless films that focus on the most vulnerable in society. He gained fame for producing films focusing of the struggles of childhood, “Children of the Beehive“, “Children of the Wind“ and “IntrospectionTower“.
Shimizu’s focus is on realism, he tried to capture the world as it was, and because of this his films stand as wonderful time capsules of japan as it moved through the 30’s to the 60’s. His films are rich, warm films with empathy, his kindness and generosity shines through every frame.
His 1936 film Arigatou-san tells the story of a polite bus driver as he travels though the Izu peninsula with his passengers, and although it has a simple and easy charm, it reveals a dark truth about depression era Japan.

March 24—April 8, 2017
While Godzilla undoubtedly ranks among Japanese cinema's most well-known and beloved exports, the series of films in which he stars is only one of the many remarkable entries within the rich and varied universe of Japanese tokusatsu ("special effects") films. This seven-film series, a modified version of the program organized for the 2016 Far EastFilm Festival in Udine, Italy by film critic and writer Mark Schilling, goes beyond Toho's superstar monster to introduce a selection of titles that display the wide-ranging imagination of the Japanese sci-fi/fantasy genre, including innovative B-movies, kaiju eiga ("monster movies") and non-Godzilla classics involving director Ishiro Honda and effects maestro Eiji Tsuburaya.

"Good For Nothing" (1960) Japanese New Wave

"Good For Nothing" ("Rokudenashi"), the 1960 Japanese film (w/ English subs), featuring Masahiko Tsugawa, Hizuru Takachiho and Yusuke Kawazu, written and directed by Yoshishige "Kijû" Yoshida.
Synopsis:
Yoshida's original script is centered on a group of listless middle-class high school students whose fantasies of sex and violence exert an unhealthy hold upon their imagination... A stylistically assured and striking debut film with overt nods to early Godard. (Harvard Film Archive, Yoshida series notes, March 2009)
